Dog Food – Which is Most Suitable for Your Pet? |
Most people have dog as their pets because they are the friendliest creatures in the world. If you also have a dog then you should take care of it in the best possible way, give it proper attention and commitment. The most important thing in a dog’s life is its diet and you are the one who has to ensure your dog receive a diet which is full of nutritious ingredients.
Many people provide dogs with food made at home. They give them meat, bones, etc. this is the best diet however, meat and bones do not contain the vitamins and minerals they only contain fat and protein so the diet should contain items such as vegetables, fruits and nuts mixed with the meat so that they get the required amount of nutrients. On the other hand, you can give your pet dog food that is easily available in the market with average price range.
These dog food packets contain all the nutrients essential for a dog to live healthily. Usually they are small biscuits that are easily chewed by your dog, but there are also canned foods that you can give your dog at the time of emergency like travelling or when you do not have any food at home to give to your dog. However, dog food packets and cans should not be kept for long and instantly used so that they do not expire otherwise they can cause various diseases to your loving pet.
You should also give proper amount of water to drink. Dogs are very energetic animals that can get dehydrated or overheated easily. So water is a necessary for them to drink. If your dog does not drink water then you should mix water with whatever food you give it so that it drinks the water along with eating.
There are various brands of dog food that have different kinds of dog food. You should give your dog the one it enjoys eating the most. Different diet is given to a pub and an adult dog so you should take suggestions from your dog’s vet on giving the right diet to it.
So, you always need to be careful and selective when it comes to deciding the food for your pet dog because anything which is not suitable or unhealthy for your pet dog can be risky for the health of your dog.
I feed my dog with only raw food containing absolutely NO green stuff – nothing but meat, fat, organs and bones, from a model called Prey Model. Meat contains more than just protein and fat – it contains vitamins and minerals too. A dog cannot digest vegetables unless it’s been boiled hard and squeezed, because the dogs lack some enzymes in their saliva and stomach. I myself don’t remember the exact details, as I am quite new at this (and of how my memory works), but I have read a lot about it, and my dog is healthier than ever!
Dogs are carnivore, not omnivore – which you can see both from their teeth and the lack of the enzyme amylase (the one I mentioned earlier), and their digestive system.
